2018年商务英语初级口语测试：丛林象夜生活

　　I think I just couldn't stop smiling for several days after filming.

　　The relief was just unbelievable.

　　Back at the camera platform, James has had a long night.

　　For over four hours, the elephant tried to shake him out of the tree.

　　Got down this morning when the Bayaka came to collect me,

　　went to look at the camera, and he'd pulled it out of the tree,

　　and he'd chewed through the power cable.

　　He must have gotten a bit of a shock, I mean only 12 volts, but....

　　Serves him right, quite honestly.

　　But at least we got a shot of him before he trashed the camera.

　　Silver lining.

　　Despite this bumpy start, the elephants soon got used to James,

　　and James got used to the elephants.

　　Filming here was never going to be easy,

　　but we were soon able to

　　reveal the night life of forest elephants like never before.

　　我去查看了摄像机

　　大象把摄像机从树上扯了下来
